Valentine's Day: Is It Important to You?
Comments (10) MailFebruary 07, 2010
Valentine's Day is a holiday fraught with meaning. Sure, you've been married for 10 years, and V-Day seems like an unnecessary expense, especially in this economy. But, but, but! Pink tulips and a sweet Vermont teddy bear? How could you not melt? And when your hubby acts like Valentine's Day is the same old, same old? It's hard not to feel just a bit disappointed. So, will you be going all out this February 14th? Or will it be just another day at the office (i.e., home)? Heather Armstrong of Dooce asks, "How important is Valentine's Day to you?"
What will you be doing this St. Valentine's Day? Are you planning a big celebration? Are you having a quieter holiday? Or are you ignoring V-Day all together? Join the Momversation by commenting below.

Eco-Friendly Baby Products: The 6 Best
The first thing I noticed when reading the classic book “Goodnight Moon” to my son were those dark green walls in the baby rabbit’s room; yuck! Today’s “green” room is filled with earth-friendly products made from recycled and reusable materials to keep excess waste from landfills. Organic fabrics play their part too, since they aren’t treated with chemicals which affect the air and water supplies.

A growing demand for stylish yet responsible infant products has encouraged designers and manufacturers to think outside the plain, recycled cardboard box. The newest eco-friendly clothing, toys and related gear can be found in a wide range of price ranges. Here’s a round-up of our top picks...
But Sarah Palin Did It!
Well, well, well. We have a woman who would be president, who calls out Barack Obama for using teleprompters, and she's using a cheat sheet during a Q&A session? A softball Q&A session? And she wrote it on her hand? What is Sarah Palin, a slightly stupid seventh grader...?

7 Ways to Make Your Child Smarter
From birth, your child is a sensory sponge, taking in the world with the five senses of vision, hearing smell, touch and taste. And the quality of these experiences has a deep effect on the development of a baby’s brain. But while you may feel obligated to constantly entertain your child, or buy complicated toys that seemingly guarantee rich sensory experiences, experts say that simple, thoughtful, consistent interaction is all a child needs to develop his senses and mind.

Meth Moms
If you've purchased OTC containing pseudoephedrine in the last few years, you've probably had to fork over your ID and sign a release. That's because the government is on a crusade to rid the country of methamphetamine (synthesized with the decongestant ingredient), which has devastated rural America. You're used to seeing the usual images of a methamphetamine user: she's poor, lives in the country, and her looks have been ravaged due to her drug use. But another, not less disturbing image is slowly taking over. These new users are called meth moms, and they're abusing the powerful stimulant in order to "do it all." But at what cost...?
